Thank you for the excellent footage. The government may wish to erase any history of Wittenoom but your film does justice to those poor souls who were once part of that industry.
Actually it might be good to erase the remnants and seal the mine of Wittenoom. History can be saved in a Way where dumb people don't bring their children into a highly asbestos contaminated area.
We really have to appreciate this kind of footage you filmed there in this extremely dangerous mine. The background of this mine and in general the city Wittenoom is extremely interesting. Thank you.
They weren't wearing masks or any proper PPE gear in the first part the damage has already been done they probably already have blue asbestos in their lungs
Unfortunately for these people. They had a part one video on the channel that they explored the mine with NO sort of PPE on. The damage had already been Done.
Yes youve got all the PPE on, but it still takes balls of steel to do this. Yes its of significant historical importance, i can only compliment you for your hard work and bravery. 🎉. Great footage.
It’s hard to believe how dangerous this fibre is. I lost a customer to Asbestos related cancer. It was awful to see him struggling on a ventilator. He was a carpenter and had done asbestos cladding for 6 months in the late 60s . It was enough to end his retirement early and leave his wife broken hearted .
Totally enjoyed your efforts guys thankyou so much for this video footages, I say a prayers that your ppe gear protected you to its maximum capacity, the build up of fibres on your shoes , scary shit indeed
Great video thanks,you haven't got gloves on,that was a mistake. We used to drive from Paraburdoo to Witt to stay in the old homes and drink and drink. Swim in the waterfalls,go to the pub. 😂😂
Ahhhhh.... You can audibly hear the rustling of their PPE, and the muffled voices of being behind masks. Too bad they weren't there for the first trip. I appreciate your sacrifice for Part 1, not many people would give their lives for a TH-cam video.
This is an excellent video. It looks like you guys were well protected. This gave me a good idea of what occurred in the mine. I do not need to go out and see this.
To ANYONE saying good for you for wearing proper PPE in the first part they WEREN'T wearing masks OR ANY PPE for that matter the damage has already been done they have blue asbestos in their lungs
Hi guys glad your wore ppe gear to take us all in with you guys and see what's been dead still since 57 years ago , and everybit just as hazardous today , so far 6 close family friends have died from this not so great product, all age 65 onwards, 3 worked at gas plant where pipes where insulation with this asbestos blue
I worked at an Holden factory about 14 years after they cleared out , all they still did there was to have a spare parts Warehouse, the rest of the old buildings were either empty or leased to a hardware company, transport companies, manufacturing, etc . The roofing was all asbestos plus other areas. I was working by myself one day, other workers were in another building, came out of lunchroom to see some guy I didn't know walking around, I asked what he was doing as the.manager would've wanted me to ! . He said he was a contractor employed by the body corporate, to monitor asbestos levels, he had a meter, and told me my area was within acceptable levels, However, he went on to say that another building that was sealed off , was ,. basically a deathtrap.. 😥
Given all the steps taken so far to restrict people from the risk of exposure, I'm surprised that the state government hadn't just set off demolition charges at each of the entrances. The only reason I can think of is cultural sensitivity, albeit belated.
This footage fills me with so much dread lol. I knew someone who died from asbestosis (and that was from WHITE, not the hundred times deadlier blue) and let's just say it's not a fun way to go out. If we didn't realise just how deadly asbestos was at the time, I shudder to think what we consume now that we aren't fully aware of the dangers of.
21:50 This I Leigh from Leigh & Matt core sample trip. Hi there, I haven't been down there for a couple of years now so thank you for the more recent film. Probably won't ever get to see it again in person but your film is a nice reminder of good memories for me. Thanks
@ExperimentalHV As I shake my head, I say, at least you made an attempt by wearing PPE, although I'd have liked to seen HOW you removed it without breathing in all of the sea of fibres that were in view inside the mine, and the unseen ones outside, especially as you walked in them (It only takes ONE fibre to start the ball rolling) - I say in all sincerity; I hope in the ensuing years and decades, you still think it was worth it for content...
The PPE was a good attempt on this video. In the first video of them exploring the mine, they explored the mine with no sort of PPE. The damage has already been done.
At least one of you didn't even wear gloves... Could you please all see a doctor? This looks quite undereqipped. In case you or someone you know wants to do this again: -tape your suits shut at arms and legs -wear a full face mask with two filters -wear thick gloves Throw away everything afterwards Please -
@@widelings7029 I mainly upload tests of my 3D work, which is how I make a living. I am not sure how you disliking my job has to do with safety precautions for dealing with asbestos. I was present during the disposal of windowsills, made of asbestos and that's the stuff I had to wear, even when not in contact with the asbestos myself. It would be nice, if you could focus on the content of my comment first and possibly criticise, if you don't agree with a point. I don't think it's fair trying to take validation away from my comment by making fun of my profession. I am sure you have work too, which you are proud to do and which you excel at. What would you think, if someone doubted your credibility, merely by pointing out your job?
anyone else find it bizarre they literally walked around with no masks or PPE in this mine in part 1, but then suddenly started wearing it and warning everyone of the dangers of it in part 2? Appreciate the footage anyway - but it wasn't worth the cost.
SO I'm certain these guys weren't wearing PPE in part 1 at least not suits anyway meaning that the clothing they were wearing was contaminated. So even if they were wearing masks they were wasting their time. The freaky thing is that every time they pass a spider web. The things are full of blue fibres. So I think these guys are in for some bad news in the future.
I lived there in the sixties my, father was a surveyor there and he took me underground on a couple of occasions, my father died of lung cancer at the age of 74 asbestos may have been a contributing factor but he was a heavy smoker, my mother at 92. I am now 73 and my brother and sisters are all asbestos disease free.
Its closed for a reason, why are you putting your lives and people who may come in contact with you. Dust gets into your vehicles, you can never decontaminate, let alone the fibres you may have put into the air just driving into the old township,
You guys went into a crocidolite mine with only a half mask with what looked like P2 filters? Awesome documentary but very silly way to conduct it! Only looking at your guys own health
@@iainmacrae6982 It shows a disregard for your viewers that you're happy to waste their time. The effort you put into making it interesting can make it 13000 times more interesting... or painful.
@@AnthonyBennett-m1u How are they wasting anyone’s time? No one is forcing you to sit through the whole video, and regardless, they aren’t forcing ads down your throat or waffling about nothing, the whole video is them exploring the old mines. I don’t understand your privileged mindset.
@@iainmacrae6982 The video has been edited, poorly. You're waiting for something interesting but it fails to eventuate. It just drags on with underlying muzak soundtrack & unrecognisable commentary.

@@AnthonyBennett-m1u The video is designed to show induvudals how everything looks into mine rather than remove specific parts. It's not really intended for entrainment.
Thank you for the excellent footage. The government may wish to erase any history of Wittenoom but your film does justice to those poor souls who were once part of that industry.
I think it's more of a please stop bringing this up rich kids with more money than brains keep visiting to play in the blue snow.

@@DerBackpackerhow about no
Outstanding work guys. One for the history archives. Thoroughly enjoyed this exploration. Thanks for sharing

The fact there are woodstock tins in that mine show that people have been in there unprotected.
Those people are ruhtless beyond recognision.
Glad you where both wearing appropriate PPE gear, you can see the dust in the cameras light, death is just centimeters away in that place.
They weren't wearing masks or any proper PPE gear in the first part the damage has already been done they probably already have blue asbestos in their lungs
Unfortunately for these people. They had a part one video on the channel that they explored the mine with NO sort of PPE on. The damage had already been Done.
Feel like I'm going to get asbestosis just watching this video☠
Asbestos is the material and blue asbestos is the most dangerous one and blue asbestos was the one mined in Wittenoom
I went here frequently as a kid in the 80's, happy to report I'm still alive.
My dad worked there. He passed away 8 years ago from asbestosis
Holy shit you can literally see clumps of fibers floating in the air as the camera moves forward!! Terrifying
Imagine how much more fibers were in the air when the mines were in full operation 😐
The feeling being inside of this mine must’ve been incredible
As a 7 year old boy l did go in the mine .My dad worked in the enturnal workshop.
Yes youve got all the PPE on, but it still takes balls of steel to do this. Yes its of significant historical importance, i can only compliment you for your hard work and bravery. 🎉. Great footage.

I have been to Wittenoom and the mine buildings many times , but never been in the tunnels.
3:21 seeing all the particles in the camera light. NOPE!
Totally enjoyed your efforts guys thankyou so much for this video footages, I say a prayers that your ppe gear protected you to its maximum capacity, the build up of fibres on your shoes , scary shit indeed
Thanks for showing me the mine !!!
Love the Midnight Oil reference at 17:30
I was there when my good mate wrote it
lifes short make it shorter by exploring an abandoned blue asbestos mine
That can tell this why people shouldn't go to see this and Wittenoom townsite also
People going in there and drinking beer. Insane.
Great video thanks,you haven't got gloves on,that was a mistake.
We used to drive from Paraburdoo to Witt to stay in the old homes and drink and drink.
Swim in the waterfalls,go to the pub.
😂😂
In the first part they weren't wearing proper PPE or masks they already have asbestos in their lungs
Equal parts mesmerising and terrifying. 😬

Asbestos is dangerous in your lungs, not on your hands. As long as he washes the hands after, he'll be fine.
@@suprlite Yeah, that's what i'm concerned about
Ironically it is probably safer in the mine than outside.
Is that some kind of live animal at 19:20 ?
A subject the government would rather avoid
The entrances should’ve been blown closed to prevent future entries, way too risky

Id be worried about the mine collapsing
Their choice. And it is history and good footage. I’d never in a million’s years go inside there but that’s a choice too.
We have monstrosities like this in our country but albonese wants to through billions away .
Why blame albo for this
Don’t go there simple
